Commentary on Psalms 9:15

Theological / Devotional

Heathen. The idolatrous nations arrayed against the psalmist (see on Ps. 2:1; 9:5).

In the pit. This and the following phrase express the same thought as Ps. 7:15. Two methods of capturing game are employed as figures of speech. The thought is repeated in v. 16 below. The punishment fits the crime.
